LANE, MAGGIE; LUCE, CLARE BOOTHE (INTRODUCTION).

Needlepoint By Design.

Charles Scribner's Sons, New York:1972. Hardcover with dustjacket. Very good condition. Presents twenty new designs for pillows, rugs, an envelope purse and a chessboard. The chessboard was made as a sampler, with a different stitch in every one of its 64 squares. Each one is diagrammed in enlarged detail. Most of the other designs feature a central motif with a figured background, a border, and for pillows a boxing band. These elements are interchangeable so that a great variety of combinations is possible. Color schemes are suggested but the worker may of course follow her own preferences.

MCCORMICK, ANNE O'HARE; SHEEHAN, MARION TURNER (COMPILER & EDITOR); LUCE, CLARE BOOTHE (INTRODUCTION).

Vatican Journal 1921 - 1965.

Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, Inc., New York: 1957. Hardcover with dustjacket. Reading copy. This book opens with eye-witness accounts of two historic events which took place in Rome in July 1921 - Benedict XV's last consistory (at which Msgr. Achille Ratti, the future Pope Pius XI, was made cardinal) and Benito Mussolini's political debut; it ends in April 1954 with a message of Easter hope. In the 33 years between these dates, Anne O'Hare McCormick wrote this history of three decades of growing Papal prestige through her interviews, reports and articles filed with The New York Times from Rome, from Vatican City and from other world capitals.
